Here is a list of coaches we plan to have involved.

Black Dahlia
After skating with the L.A. Derby Dolls for two years, Dahlia became the founder and coach of New Zealand’s first roller derby league, the Pirate City Rollers. She served on the Gotham Girls Roller Derby league’s coaching committee while skating with them in early 2007, and currently skates with the Jet City Rollergirls in Everett, Washington.

Bonnie D. Stroir

Bully Julie, S.D.D.D.
Julie is the head of the San Diego Derby Dolls’ training team. She has conducted boot camps for her league’s rookie skaters and coaches their Junior Derby League.

Coach Pauly
Coach Pauly served as Arizona Roller Derby's Head Coach and Head Referee for five seasons, and brought AZRD’s Tent City Terrors to a national ranking of #3 in 2006. Coach Pauly has shared his knowledge with 20+ leagues across the U.S. and Canada, and with countless leagues at several training seminars and camps, including last year’s Blood & Thunder National Training camp.

Ivanna S. Pankin, S.D.D.D.
Ivanna S. Pankin started skating in 2003 when she founded Arizona Roller Derby and served as their head coach until relocating to Vegas with Trish the Dish to dedicate themselves to interleague play.  Since then she's skated in several tournaments, guest-coached for leagues all over the world, and landed most recently in San Diego, where she plays for San Diego's flat track and banked track interleague teams.

Muffin, Duke City Rollergirls
Muffin has been playing for Duke City Derby for three years. One-time chair of the WFTDA training subcommittee, she has coached workshops and led brainstorming sessions at RollerCon, the B&T training camp, and various training camps throughout the country. She has also worked intensely with the West Texas Roller Dollz, who in 2007 became the first junior derby league to join the WTFDA. Muffin has been the statistical leading scorer for the Munecas Muertas, (all-star travel team of Duke City Derby), for two seasons.

Quadzilla
Quadzilla started skating at six years old and went on to be a sponsored aggressive inline skater for nine years, (sponsored by Rollerblade and K2), skate for TNN’s Rollerjam for four seasons, and participate in ASA and NISS Pro Tour, and ESPN’s X Games. He has assisted in training and coaching the Rat City Rollergirls, the Oly Rollers, and the Dockyard Derby Dames and currently serves as the head coach for Rat City’s Grave Danger team. He also skates with the Puget Sound Outcast men’s derby team.

Shirley N. Sane
A quad speed champ herself, Shirley has coached speed skating on a World Class level for twenty five years. She also skated derby in 2006 to gain insight into the sport for coaching purposes. She has run her own boot camps in Florida, and coaches both banked and flat track to all skill levels.

Suzy Snakeyes, L.A.D.D.
Suzy Snakeyes is a veteran skater with the LA Derby Dolls and is heading into her third year as the head of league's training team. She joined the Dolls in 2003 and went on to become a founding member and original captain of LADD's Tough Cookies. She has since helped develop the league's training program, taught blocking basics at the LA Derby Dolls Junior Roller Derby Camp, and has guest-coached for leagues in California. Having played in bouts on both flat and banked track, Suzy has a strong love for roller derby no matter where it's played and considers herself fully bi-traxual.

Trish the Dish
Trish the Dish gathered up 10 of her best friends and brought the Beaters to AZRD in the summer of 2004, and less than a year later coached her team of green rookies to a near win in AZRD's championships.  Shortly after the finals, she teamed up with the competition and moved to Las Vegas to found the Sin City Rollergirls.  She's coached and played soccer, softball, volleyball and basketball (to name a few), but dropped all other sports when she was bit by the derby bug; now she's one of derby's best strategy and teamwork coaches, sharing her knowledge and spreading bruises across 3 continents so far.  She currently plays for the San Diego Derby Dolls on both their interleague teams.
